WASHINGTON (AP) — Housing and Urban Development Deputy Secretary Adrianne Todman will serve as acting secretary when Marcia Fudge’s resignation takes effect March 22. The White House says President Joe Biden will nominate a permanent replacement for Fudge as secretary but has offered no timeline. Fudge is a former Ohio mayor and congressional representative. Fudge says she’s leaving HUD “with mixed emotions” after serving as secretary since the start of Biden’s administration. Biden lauds Fudge’s “contributions toward a housing system that works for all Americans.” The president of the National Housing Conference calls Fudge a steadfast advocate for equitable housing policies.
